The philosophy you're arguing for is a cruel one, very much "everyone for themselves". It's a good thing most people in society don't believe in it, and do in fact think it's a good idea to help everyone out and provide some basic minimum standard of living.

You should read about the veil of ignorance: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veil_of_ignorance

I'm arguing against declining responsibility for one's choices, and against self entitlement.

We live in society because at the individual level each of us gets some benefits from doing so. When that stops being the case society will cease to exist.
